Are there any examples in doing something similar to this?

Not on our forum, as this is very custom. StackExchange would be the best place to look, but you may need to hire a PHP coder to do it.

Trevor,

Thanks for all your help. I was able to find some code and have adapted it to work the way we need. It’s below incase you need it for anyone else

function filter_function_name($input_object, $sfid) {

        if ($input_object['name'] == '_sfm_attorneys') {

		global $coauthors_plus;
			
		// Update option labels before rendering

			foreach($input_object['options'] as $key => $option) {

						$my_query = new WP_Query( array( 'post_type' => 'attorney', 'p' => $option->value));
						while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
							$att_first = types_render_field("att_first", array());
							$att_last = types_render_field("att_last", array());

							$input_object['options'][$key]->label = $att_last . ', ' . $att_first;
				
						endwhile;

	        	}

	        	// Sort options...

	        		$sortArray = array(); 

	        		foreach($input_object['options'] as $option) { 

				    foreach($option as $key => $value) { 

				        if(!isset($sortArray[$key])) { 

				            $sortArray[$key] = array(); 

				        } 

				        $sortArray[$key][] = $value; 

				    }

				}

				// ...by label

	        		$orderby = "label";

				array_multisort($sortArray[$orderby],SORT_ASC,$input_object['options']); 

	}
		
		// Return

			return $input_object;

	}

	add_filter('sf_input_object_pre', 'filter_function_name', 10, 2);
